Philips CD104

Hi,

I have an excellent condition working Philips CD104 and wondering how much it would fetch in an auction?

I suggest trying an eBay completed items search. There are 5 for sale on eBay Europe right now.

The two I bought recently cost £27 and £32 inc p&p.

Whats good with the CD104?
The drive mechanism?
Or is it just nostalgia?
If I recall correctly, its a 14-bit DAC with noise shaping, think its the TDA1540...

I have a defect unit buried somewhere, one channel is putting out terrible ringing noise... now I remember! The DAC is mono, so there are two DACs in there, and I do have a spare!

Is it worth fixing?

drive cdm1
nostalgia yes
yes 2 times 1540. Dac's tend to break, so maybe the spare....

You could always use it as a transport.

Not all have CDM1, might be CDM0.

I'm afraid not so easy: no digital out and no i2s to hook on to.

That all depends on your perspective. There was digital audio before I2S. It is a very simple logic problem.

Been away for some time...

Hmm... I´m using a NEC CD-ROM as a transport with a Rockna Electronics IDE controller.
The NEC is pretty good, at least IME.
But its still kind of cheap plastic, so the thought of using the CDM-0/1 is tempting.

How complicated would the necessary logic be?
I dont have the skills for designing it myself.
I do have the skills for building it.
I2S would be good...

Maybe I have servicemanual!
Have to dig deep...
